Repentance is a theme that belongs in the gospel presentation to the degree that we could say one has not preached the biblical gospel if one has not preached repentance. In Acts 17 verse 30 the Bible says, 'God commands all men everywhere to repent.' God commands all men everywhere to repent. If we are faithful preachers of the message of God, then we must in God's name command all men everywhere to repent. Matthew 9:13 says that Jesus Christ came to call sinners to repentance. Second Peter 3:9, 'God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.' Luke 15:7 and 10 indicates that there is joy in heaven over one sinner brought to repentance. And in Luke 24:47, the Great Commission Jesus gave is that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all people.Our message is repentance. It is a hard message. It is a harsh message. It confronts sin. It unmasks hypocrisy. It denies superficiality. You cannot preach the true gospel apart from repentance. John came preaching repentance, the Bible says. Jesus came preaching repentance. The apostles preached repentance. Christ commands repentance. He does it at least three times in just Revelation 2 and 3. God saves through repentance. In fact, in Acts 11:18 it calls repentance, 'Repentance unto life.' There is no spiritual life; there is no eternal life without repentance. In Acts 5:31 it is said Christ is exalted as a Savior to give repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

INSTRUCTIONS

After cookies are baked, frost with a thin powdered sugar frosting that has
been tinted with food coloring. Sprinkle with decorator sprinkles while
frosting is still moist. 1-Cream butter and vanilla together. Add sugar
slowly, creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating
well after each. 2-In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together and
slowly add to creamed mixture. Chill for 3 hours or more. 3-Roll chilled
dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired
shapes. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in preheated 375 degree oven for
6-8 minutes. Do not overbake. This makes about 6 dozen small cookies. This
